Lance Gripes About American Riders?

Richard Adams

I heard that Lance was irritated by needless risks being taken by
riders on other domestic teams in the Tour of Georgia and wouldn't
return next year. I couldn't find anything to confirm a such a
statement.

Has anyone else seen in print comments to this effect? Seems a
slightly sour note after what appeared to be a fine race and much
needed publicity for domestic racing.

If postal is taken over by a big domestic sponsor then they might put
heavy pressure on him to race. I have heard that dodge is a possibility.
If he doesn't get a big domestic sponsor for postal then he won't be
racing anyway.

I think it's safe to say that LA is only racing now because he wants to,
he doesn't have to. Unless Kristin is taking him to the cleaners, he's
made enough on endorsements to live quite comfortably in whatever is
left of his homes.

Don't look to Dodge. If you've been reading the financial section or
listening to the business news they're in no position to do any such
thing. Daimler-Chrysler are effectively letting Mitsubishi die and
their investment with it. Subaru would probably be in a better position.

Kristin gets 1/2 of what they had, and at least 25% of what he makes (or
should be making) before any taxes for child support.
And on top of that she gets alimony. If he slacks off, she can take him to
court again and win.
He would have to prove that he is not a winner anymore to reduce payments.

What does a tornado, a hurricane, and a Texas divorce all have in common?


Someone looses a mobile home.

Does Texas have long term maintenance (alimony) or short term reconstructive
maintenance (one to five years) which is what most states have moved to over
the past 30 years?

Hmmmm..........What DOES a tornado, a hurricane, and a Texas divorce
have in common?
Someone LOOSES a mobile home. If you agree to learn basic grammer and
spelling, i will give up my Webtv and get a computer.

I can hardly wait for Robert's next brilliant observation:

"Wait a minute! This isn't a forest! This is a bunch of trees!"

My apologies for attempting to type the joke in a manner similar to its oral
recitation.

(snort!

I heard this same thing from a friend, but I think he saw it on TV.
I'll have to check.

In either case, its more likely that Berry Floor would take over,
particularly if he wins the Tour and doesn't retire. Its a good move
for them to contend with QuickStep.

7-8 million is nothing to a major car company even if it is an ailing
one. Not that I am guarenteeing anything, but I wouldn't look at overall
ecconomics.

Grammer - farm talk for talking like your grandmother. Typical example
- giving driving directions in the city by saying, "Turn north."

2 year alimony, but after that she can take him to court again to try to
continue it. The CS stays 25% until 18, and
she can push for college support in court now too. Since LA has the $$$$,
lawyers will do most anything "access" it, and the courts will help her and
her children out. Texas Law is wide open in court. Austin has one of the
highest densities of lawyers to people in the Nation. (well known in Texas)
